Hey everyone! So, I say this is my last summer outfit and looking at the forecast right now it may very well be! It’s 59 degrees right now and it’s supposed to get into the 40’s tonight. Yikes! However, I love fall and have ordered some really fun fall items that should be reaching me soon. Don’t worry, I’ll show you them all!
When I look in my closet I see a lot of stripes and solilds, so I’ve been making a conscience effort to branch out. I’ve been veering towards polka-dots instead. They are a fun change and would be really easy to pattern-mix since it’s a pretty subtle pattern. This top is actually two pieces, with the camisole underneath so it can be worn in other combinations. There are also a bunch of different patterns and solid colors besides just the polka dots. I am wearing a black bra underneath though since you can see through the polka-dot layer, so keep that in mind.
I’ve paired this top with my Chico’s shorts you’ve seen before here. They also have them in petite and all of their shorts are really on sale now. I’m thinking they may be put away soon until next summer. Luckily white shorts never go out of style!
I’m also wearing my Memphisto sandals from last year that are holding up really well and they’ve introduced some really fun colors and patterns. Yes, I’m back with the green Lug bag too!
And I didn’t go down south to see the total eclipse so my daughter sent me her video. I love hearing all the exclamations from the people around them. They had just pulled off on the side of the road and lots of people were doing the same. She said it was one of the most amazing things she’s seen. We live on a pretty cool planet don’t we?

Yes, I always say you can teach an old dog new tricks!
Ooh, Mephistos! I’ve had a pair of Mephisto slides since 2002 and sure they’re a little banged up but they’re still holding up and I wear them almost every day, out if I’m messy, and around the house if I’m warm. I remember at the time I bought them thinking they were soooo expensive, but I’m going to say I really got my money’s worth!
Yeah, I have to remember that when I’m buying something that if it’s good quality it will cost. And, honestly, I don’t want to have to buy a new pair of sandals every summer, even if they are less expensive. By the time you have them broken in, it’s too cold!
I keep saying this,so glad you are back,😊 The outfit is great.
Kathryn, I know you say that but I enjoy reading it every time!
Hi Julia, long time no speak! This summer outfit is so cute in you – navy and white are a classic combination and you’ve just added something extra with the polka dots. Why does everyone manage to wear white in the summer and yet I struggle so? I have white jeans (too many to count) but either the fit or the underwear cause me grief… You clearly don’t have any of those problems!
Looking forward to seeing your autumn purchases!

Oh Anna! You don’t wear white b/c you have so many fabulous colors to wear that white is just so bland for your style! I love your oranges!
